Gum Lift and Contouring

Gum lift and contouring, also known as gingivectomy or gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure offered at Hasya Dental to improve the balance and appearance of the gums. This treatment involves the removal or reshaping of excess gum tissue, revealing more of the tooth’s surface. It is commonly performed to address issues such as a “gummy smile” or uneven gum line, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious smile.

When is the Treatment Required

Gum lift and contouring are recommended for individuals with excessive gum tissue, causing teeth to appear short or uneven. This treatment is suitable for those seeking a solution to enhance the proportions of their smile by creating a more balanced gum-to-tooth ratio.

Benefits of the Treatment

  1. Aesthetic Enhancement: Gum lift and contouring contribute to a more symmetrical and visually appealing smile by creating a balanced gum line.
  2. Correction of a “Gummy Smile”: The procedure addresses a “gummy smile” by reducing the prominence of the gums and allowing more of the teeth to be visible.
  3. Improved Tooth Proportions: By reshaping the gums, this treatment enhances the proportions between the teeth and gums, creating a more natural and attractive smile.
  4. Boosted Confidence: Achieving a well-balanced smile often leads to increased confidence and a positive impact on one’s self-esteem.
  5. Quick and Minimally Invasive: Gum lift and contouring are typically quick, minimally invasive procedures performed in the dental office, requiring little to no downtime.
  6. Potential Oral Health Benefits: In some cases, gum lift and contouring may contribute to improved oral hygiene by eliminating areas where excess gum tissue can trap bacteria.

Duration of the Treatment

The duration of gum lift and contouring is relatively short, usually completed within one office visit. The exact time may vary based on the extent of the treatment required.
